Why Debutots?

Award winning Interactive Storytelling and Dramatic Play Classes that are unique, original and fun!

Benefits include:

building self confidence;

promoting language and literacy skills and

developing a love of stories and books.

With a different and original Debutots story every week our fully trained and highly skilled practitioners transport children aged 6 months – 7 years into a magical world of fun and adventure through the powerful medium of storytelling.

The three core elements of our classes are: Story, Drama and Play.

Story builds the foundations for literacy and promotes skilful communication

In exploring our original stories vocally and physically we facilitate children's literacy development. They speak, listen, imagine, observe and do.

I thoroughly recommend the Debutots approach. These delightful classes promote young children's communication and literacy development in a fun and creative way.

Drama techniques foster cognitive development

By encouraging children to jump into a fictional world where they recall a story and discover and speak for themselves, their thinking, reasoning and memory skills blossom and grow.

...imagination is the ability to create visual images in the mind’s eye, which allows us to explore all sorts of images and ideas without being constrained by the limits of the physical world. This is how children begin to develop problem-solving skills, coming up with new possibilities, new ways of seeing and being...

Play grows a child's positive sense of themselves and of others

Imaginative role play puts children in another's shoes and allows playful exploration of feelings, consequences of behaviour and relationships with others. In our safe, imaginary world children build an understanding of themselves and a sense of community as a group.

Imaginative play matters more than anything else and is a huge plus in parenting
